    Here's the worst Tom & Jerry cartoon ever made.
    Gene Deitch totally misunderstood the characters and funny violence of the excellent Hanna-Barbera shorts. In Deitch's T&J Tom is put through some of the most sadistic and unfunny torture ever vented on a cartoon character. The H&B shorts had boundaries and there was rarely any sense of pure hatred between the characters; Jerry could trap Tom's tail in a waffle iron or break all his teeth with a hammer, but he'd also save him from drowning in the sea ('The Cat And The Mer-Mouse') or happily accept the gift of a strawberry pie from him, as from a friend ('Jerry's Diary'). In the Deitch shorts Jerry is pure evil and causes GBH to Tom even when the poor cat is minding his business! There is nothing slapstick about a cat being dunked in boiling water or a cat's owner roasting the face of his cat between a red-hot griddle. Deitch could have continued with the humour of the later H&B shorts where the violence was substantially toned down and Tom wasn't the only character to suffer; from around 1953 H&B decided to make Jerry the victim of some hard knocks too and so he didn't get away with constantly winning in every episode. But even if Deitch wanted to emulate the violence of the pre-1953 H&B shorts he was going about it in the wrong way. His brand of violence was cruel and disturbing, as in the two examples I gave. Funnily, though, Deitch is quite protective over his T&J shorts. He believes that they are far superior to the later Chuck Jones incarnations and he has even said that the average viewer will detect no difference between a classic H&B T&J and one of his putrid T&J's.

    You didn't have to make a new MSN account...
    Cos you have to enter your password on that site, the people that made the so called 'virus' go onto your MSN, paste the message into everyone's window then go away.
    They don't change your password, so all you need to do is change your password
